Re: Another speed?
Dont Telewest right now offer 3mbit/256 for i dont know - £50 a month or something? Do the very same telewest users on 3mbit have to worry about a CAP impossed on even there top end service? (sorry to mention that ugly word CAP but it fits in with me bit im saying).
You mentioned speeds and what is good, well lets say im on 750 right, now max is what 92KB/Sec - if my download comes along at 70 say, im not on the phone like then and there complaining, if the speed was always this for weeks on end then yet i would be.
Funny though, its the high speed users, the tiny percent as you said who are more lightly do cause problems that a 300k one, correct yes? If a general person who is checking the web etc gets a 300 connection then why would he need any more? Once he has discovered reasons to download stupid amounts then of course he might well sign up for 1.5mbit to get them loverly jublly's faster.
Talking of 3mbit/5mbit/SDSL/Fibre etc - NTL have obiuosly proven there struggling now with the current technology, lets say SDSL becomes a lot cheaper and peole can pay £50 a month for 2mbit each way - how on earth will NTL be able to Match that? I guess simple answer is they cannot. Now the problem Im guessing is the last mile correct? But dont NTL Wire all the way to the home, so why at least for example could they not put ethernet (somehow) in there instead or even fibre - push things forward so to speak. instead of offering 1.5mbit/256 as there top speed with no room for anything, they could be offering 1/1mbit and so forth. By the way, USA do sell SDSL 2mbit for $160 a month so people SHARE the cost as it were, cos even at that price, still means 1mbit both ways for two people...
